    "content": "the creative industry, or production, television, publishing, commentary, newspaper writing, or book publishing. These are all elements of the creative industry that we cannot lose sight of, especially at this time when AI is shaping the trajectory of economies worldwide. We must not loose sight on the need to make a case for creatives as a viable business option in this country and a significant driver of our economy. I, therefore, hope this House will give life to this Bill. I also hope that with the help of the Senate Majority Leader, we will find a co-sponsor in the National Assembly, who will drive the agenda of creatives very fast. This will ensure that as soon as possible, creatives will have a house of their own to help them self-regulate and shape policies through their own industrial policy. This policy should address issues such as royalties for creatives, distribution of creative products, intellectual property rights and contract drafting. All these areas affecting creatives, if singled out and addressed through individual policies, may not allow for the establishment of proper standards due to the dynamic nature of the industry. However, if we work hard and pass this Bill, it will empower creatives to establish proper standards in the industry regarding all the issues I have mentioned. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I therefore wish to reply and thank the House for its support of this Bill. I hope it will be fast-tracked in the Committee of the Whole and Third Reading, so that it can proceed to the National Assembly as soon as possible. As I reply, I beg the indulgence of the Speaker that, pursuant to Standing Order No.66 (3), I request the putting of the question be deferred to a later date, given that it is late and we may not have the necessary delegation to move it forward. However, I hope it will be a priority in the next session. I thank you."
